The case resolved for a confidential amount after oral argument in the appellate court.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div> $8,583,000<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Howard E.

CONFIDENTIAL SETTLEMENT<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div> $3,000,000<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t In Re: L.M. etc. vs. the United States of America\r\n\r\nHoward E. Skolnick represented the Plaintiffs in a medical malpractice federal tort claim lawsuit. This action was pursued in Federal District Court in Toledo. It was the plaintiffs\u2019 claim that the failure of the nurses to report to the obstetrician the presence of maternal fever was decisive in the obstetrician\u2019s management of labor, as well as whether or not to have the neonatal resuscitation team at the time of delivery. It was plaintiffs\u2019 position L.M. (baby) suffered from lack of ventilation and perfusion after the delivery for approximately three minutes until she was intubated by the neonatal nurse. The obstetrician indicated had he known of the maternal fever, he would have suspected an infection and offered a C-section 55 minutes prior to the actual delivery during which time there was stress on the fetus as reported by the fetal heart tracings. As a result of these delays, L.M. suffered hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and was diagnosed with cerebral palsy including spastic quadriplegia, profound cognitive loss as well as loss of vision.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div> $2,368,000<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Represented a commercial truck driver for post-traumatic stress disorder sustained when a motorist intruded into his lane of travel, causing him to veer to his left to avoid a collision and then attempt to get his rig back into his lane of travel. After avoiding the collision, the driver was unable to prevent the rig from tuning onto its side and sliding into a wall adjacent to the highway. After the rig collided with the wall, the driver was trapped in his seat for about ninety minutes. During this time, the driver smelled the overpowering odor of diesel fuel, which had spilled onto the highway. Aware of the very real threat of a fire from the spilled diesel fuel, he valiantly and steadfastly maintained his composure until rescued. A previously very active, bold man, the driver became virtually housebound secondary to post-traumatic stress disorder. The jury awarded him $2,368,000.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div> $2,000,000<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t The Skolnick Weiser Law Firm, LLC<\/span> represented the Plaintiff suffered a bilateral hand amputation, recovering from the BWC and Plaintiff\u2019s employer.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div> $1,950,000<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Howard E.
